Work given the go ahead at Taupo Events Centre
Further important work will be carried out on the Taupo Events Centre (TEC) after Taupo District Council agreed to the painting of TEC’s roof and other maintenance work at the Council meeting on Tuesday 26 March.
The warranty on the current roof has expired and the roof needs to be repainted. The new translucent roofing will have a 25-year warranty on materials and a five year warranty on workmanship. The painting of the new roof will have a seven year warranty on materials and a five year warranty on workmanship.
The work will include the removal of moss and mould from the roof sheeting, the painting of the roof and the repair or replacement of roof and wall fixings.
Strategic Projects Manager, Andrew Boden, says the upgraded roofing will also mean the appearance of the building is improved. "The new roof, combined with the freshly painted structural steelwork, is going to make the building look great," he says.
Council decided to employ contractors Holmac Limited for the work, which is expected to cost about $155,000. TEC will remain open during the work, which is due to commence in April.
The painting of TEC’s structural steelwork is continuing and is scheduled for completion in April. The funding is from the contingency sum remaining from the painting of the external steelwork which is on schedule. The building’s steelwork was last painted in 1998 and is being painted as part of its regular maintenance.
